Three different filamentous arrays have been observed: (1) linear amyloid-like filaments, (2) zigzag filaments, and (3) water-filled nanotubes.
However, two species have turned up that have feather-like filaments on their bodies.
These tangles are the twisted abnormal pretzel-like filaments that form inside of the nerve cells as they die.
Hatay is famous for künefe – a sweetmeat made of white cheese sandwiched within shredded wheat-like filaments that's then butter-griddled and flipped.
Not dinosaurs themselves, but close relatives, and many pterosaurs are known to have been covered in fur-like filaments called pycnofibers.
Alien Monster No 1 is Lara Flynn Boyle: easy on the eyes in human form, but awfully hard on the throat, torso and testes whenever her fingers turn into constrictor-like filaments of death.
Hundreds of bones and several skulls have been collected from sites in eastern Siberia but critically a number of them are preserved a variety of both scales and feather-like filaments.
The ferrofluid forms chain-like filaments independently of particle concentration.
The wave-like filaments (Fig. 1c) were consistent with the appearance of microbial flagella reported in another work, which confirmed such finding as flagella, and the shorter and hair-like pili could also be seen [11].
Other structures show tips of filaments curving away from the bundle at various points--like filaments branching from the shaft in a feather vane, Zhou says, although he admits that this could be an artifact of preservation.
Samples reduced at 673 and 773 K produced filaments exhibiting "whisker-like" mode of growth (metal particles were located at the tip of the filaments), while those reduced at 973 and 1100 K produced "extrusion-like" filaments (Pd particles were located at the bottom, attached to ceria crystallites).
